Concerns Raised About Accuracy of Pipeline Support Polls

community · December 2025

Polls reporting majority support for the Alberta-BC bitumen pipeline project are questioned due to low response rates and opt-in sampling methods, which may not accurately represent public opinion. The strongest support was among older Conservative men in Alberta, while Indigenous consent was widely regarded as important.

• “Did you know that half of Canadians and over half of British Columbians support the new bitumen pipeline project... The Leger pipeline poll... conducted among 1,548 Canadian residents... response rate of 0.003875%... Support for the pipeline was strongest among Albertan men, over the age of 55, who voted Conservative... Across the country however, 68% said it was important to obtain the consent of Indigenous communities before construction.” — The Islands Grapevine – December 18th, 2025 (December 18th, 2025)
